My
son, Drew was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and a
half. My husband, children and I have been on a steep
learning curve ever since. I am committed to getting the
treatments and therapies for my son and look forward to the
day we find a cure for autism. Please take the time and
click on this link to
Autism
Speaks and learn how you can help in this worthwhile cause.
I am honored to be a
member of “Athletes Against Autism”, an initiative aimed
at raising the awareness about autism and funds for
research into finding the causes, effective treatments
and a cure for autism. It is currently estimated that 1
in 150 children in the U.S. will be identified with an
Autism Spectrum Disorder by the time they are three
years old, making autism one of the fastest growing
childhood disorders.
This year I am
serving as the honorary chair for two “Autism Walks”
events in Tacoma and Seattle.
